Rich, flaky, and full of Gulf Coast flavor, this blackened redfish delivers a bold crust with a bright lemon butter finish. Texan Heartland Blackened Seafood Seasoning brings paprika, pepper, herbs, citrus peel, mustard, celery seed, cayenne, and Aleppo pepper together for a savory, lightly spicy coating that makes simple fish taste like a restaurant-worthy meal.

Blackened Redfish with Lemon Butter

Ingredients

  • 4 redfish fillets, about 6 ounces each

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1½ tablespoons Texan Heartland Blackened Seafood Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, optional

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Prepare the fish: Pat redfish fillets dry with paper towels to help the seasoning form a better crust.

  2. Season the fillets: Rub both sides of the fish with olive oil, then coat evenly with Texan Heartland Blackened Seafood Seasoning.

  3. Heat the skillet: Place a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. Sear the fish: Cook fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until blackened on the outside and flaky in the center.

  5. Make the lemon butter: Reduce heat to low, then add butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest if using.

  6. Finish the fish: Spoon the lemon butter over the fillets for 30-60 seconds.

  7. Serve hot: Transfer to plates, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
